Identify the penalties for common traffic offences relevant to professional bus drivers.

Interpret all priority road signs, including supplementary plates, and apply them to complex junction layouts.

Match each traffic sign category (warning, prohibitory, mandatory, informational) to its purpose and give three examples of each.

Explain road markings (continuous, broken, zigzag, bus stop markings) and their legal implications.

Describe the meaning of traffic controller signals (police officer, traffic lights) and how they override signs and markings.

Apply the rules for level crossings and tram priority to bus driving scenarios.

Explain the pre-trip checks specific to buses (lights, brakes, tires, emergency exits, fire extinguisher, first aid kit).

Describe the correct seating and mirror adjustment for a bus driver and the importance of blind spot checks.

Outline the procedure for starting, moving off, and stopping a bus smoothly, including the use of retarders and exhaust brakes.

Demonstrate (in writing) how to handle a bus in adverse weather (rain, snow, fog) and on steep gradients.

List the steps for coupling and uncoupling a trailer, if applicable, or for operating a bus with a trailer.

Identify the main components of a bus's braking system (air brakes, ABS, EBS) and explain their maintenance requirements.

Describe the legal tread depth and tire pressure requirements for buses and how to check them.

Explain the function of the tachograph, its legal requirements, and how to handle common malfunctions.

List the documents that must be carried in a bus and their validity periods.

Outline the procedure for reporting and recording vehicle defects.

Identify the top five hazards for bus drivers in urban and rural settings and describe defensive driving techniques to mitigate them.

Explain the concept of hazard perception and how to scan the road effectively, including the use of mirrors.

Describe the correct behaviour at pedestrian crossings, especially when carrying passengers.

Analyze the risks of fatigue and distraction and list strategies to stay alert on long shifts.

Explain the importance of smooth acceleration and braking to passenger comfort and safety.

List the steps to take at an accident scene: protect the scene, assist the injured, call emergency services, and exchange information.

Describe basic first aid for common injuries in road accidents (bleeding, fractures, shock, burns) and the recovery position.

Outline the requirements for keeping records and the penalties for non-compliance.

Explain the principles of economical driving (eco-driving) and how they apply to buses: smooth acceleration, anticipating traffic, using cruise control wisely.

Describe how vehicle maintenance (tire pressure, engine tuning) affects fuel consumption and emissions.

List the environmental impacts of bus operations and measures to reduce them (e.g., route planning, idle reduction).

Identify the benefits of eco-driving for safety and cost.

Explain the role of alternative fuels and technologies in reducing emissions.
